@sxa Happy celebrations 🙂
He was also deploying to HP-UX.

I'm going to have to find a way to contain #slack on Linux - the OOM killer just hit it. This is the RAM trace when it happened. It also took down #firefox too but the OOM killer has only logged that it hit slack ...

@sxa oof! From the graph, that's like ~24 GiB of mem, right? That's insane!

@fred Exactly. It's ridiculous!!!

Doing a firmware update on the P1 ... "Memory training" is a new one on me!

@sxa Yeah I saw the same thing yesterday (I had not one but two AMD based Lenovo laptops to update, in the hope that it would help with them sporadically not waking up from sleep).

So I went digging and this time I did find a satifying answer: https://www.systemverilog.io/design/ddr4-initialization-and-calibration/#readwrite-training

@fred Useful - thanks!

Was wondering why the audio output (3.5mm jack) via my Lenovo laptop dock was being quiet despite the volume being set to maximum on the laptop. Seems that the "Analogue" vs "Digital S/PDIF" output devices are completely different - The analogue option is coming out a lot louder.

@sxa Is that 3.5mm jack meant for headphones or a line out? The former would usually be amplified which would explain it being louder. Line out/digital would usually be sent with the assumption that the receiving end handles amplification.

@richardlau I'll be honest I haven't looked at the specs, but the dock is connected to the laptop via USBC. The (active) speaker is plugged into the same 3.5mm jack on the dock regardless of whether it's analogue/digital output in the UI - it's not a separate physical connector.
